IMPORTANT - FORK!
There is fork happening in the EmerCoin network after block 136404.
Some clients do not receive correct block 136405, and continue staking.
Please, check your client. Run from console:
getcheckpoint
If it prints:
{
"synccheckpoint" : "0000000000000006d2010d4a879378a448c4a12e156127d7a7753b93fccb676d",
"height" : 136404,
"timestamp" : "2015-11-29 17:17:16 UTC"
}
then your client has been affected by fork.
To resolve this issue, needed re-download blockchain again.
To do this:
1. stop emercoin program
2. Backup your wallet.dat (not necessary, but this is more safe)
3. Delete all files, but wallet.dat and emercoin.conf in the directory
windows: C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\EmerCoin
linix: ./emercoin
4. Restart emercoin program. Wait for ~30 minutes to reload blockchain.
We're working for investigate this issue, and will release patch soon.
Thanks you for patience.
I will have to wait for a patch. Deleting files and redownloading block index has stuck.
I am still here..
downloading blockchain is stuck on 134081 and 163997 84.17% completed from last 40mins.
WARNING: Checkpoint is too old. Wait for blockchain to download, or notify developer of the issue.
Hey jaipagare,
Deleting all files (save the wallet.dat) worked for me when I had this same issue. I believe I had to re-download and sync the blockchain twice for some reason. Leaving the client open during the day whilst I worked outside did the trick. Give it some time perhaps and rest assured that we will be here to assist you if the issue persists.
Regarding exchanges: There is a campaign in motion to work with all of the Chinese exchange operators (yes, every single one) to build up a community of support for Emercoin. This is in addition to being added to the exchanges and serves to provide them with more comfort and confidence in adding EMC to their currency pairings. You all are already doing the very best thing you can which is positive support and promotion. We do care about the price and being listed on exchanges however
our focus has always been and remains on the development of the EMC currency and blockchain. It is this dedication to creating useful services and tools for humanity that has brought us to where we are today and we will continue to keep this as our main focus.
This is why we are very happy to see you all taking an interest in Emercoin. These services have applications across many different business and personal uses and we encourage everyone to try them out. Lastly, stick around in this thread over the next week as I will have some community-based news that will be of interest to many of you who have been patiently waiting to get involved at some level.
and with it being added to the Chinese markets as well as Poloniex in the near future should push the value up to par with FCT and ETH.
